Frequently asked questions
Which countries accept an apostille?
Every country that has joined the Hague Convention – more than 120, including all EU countries, the USA, the UK, China, Japan, India and most of South America. Countries outside the convention require embassy legalisation.
Should the document be translated before or after the apostille?
It depends on the receiving country. Some want the apostille on the original and a translation of both; others require the apostille on the translation itself. We advise based on the country's rules.
What is the difference between a certified and a standard translation?
A certified translation is signed and stamped by a state-authorised or sworn translator who confirms that it matches the original. Authorities, courts and universities usually require it.
Do I need to send the original?
Usually not – a scan is enough. If the authority wants the translation bound to the original or to a certified copy, we will guide you through it.
